Manuele Landini from the University of Innsbruck was part of an international team led by researchers at CNR Nanotec in Lecce, Italy, that has demonstrated the emergence of a supersolid phase of matter in a photonic crystal polariton condensate. This discovery has profound implications for the future of quantum technologies, including potential applications in neuromorphic computing and advanced photonic devices. The project received funding from several programs, including the National Quantum Science and Technology Institute (NQSTI) and the European Union.
